This week at Wipfli LLP it is orientation. Today is my first day and we have started off at our home office locations. Wipfli LLP is a company that spreads over the Midwest. All offices send interns and new hires to this orientation week. I have been lucky enough to have it be located here in Madison. It is the most central location for everyone. We met at 10:30 am. When we started off there were ten people at my home office. There were five interns from Madison, two interns from Spokane WA, two from St. Paul, and one from Eau Claire. We started off with introductions. After that we had a culture presentation done by the head of HR in the Madison office. It was a great presentation and really got me motivated to intern at Wipfli LLP. We then had Panera catered in and had lunch with some current associates. After that we did some final paper work and headed off to our hotels. We stayed at the Concourse Hotel in downtown Madison. We each had our own room and could check-in. Then we waited until 5:00 pm to go to dinner because we were waiting for all the other offices to arrive. We went out to Cooper’s Tavern for dinner. It was a quick walk and there were a total of about 65 of us. We ate and mingled until about 10:00 pm. Now we have to be up for our training that starts at 8:00 am tomorrow morning.
Wipfli LLP is an Accounting and Consulting firm. They are ranked 23rd national. They have offices throughout Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Washington, and India. They are looking to expand as well in the near future. They do many types of tax including cooperate, financial institutions, and individuals. They also are in audit. There are other consulting sections of the company, but these are the two that I will be focusing on during my internship. My project that I will be completing while here at Wipfli LLP is going to be involving the effectiveness of taxes. I will be going out to clients and do the taxes right there on site and then I will have the partner or manager go on site and bring the information back to me. I would then use the information and do the return at the office. I will have to evaluate and recommend which method I think is more efficient and effective. I will then go and present my recommendations to people at Wipfli LLP that it could possibly help. That is going to be my project and participation in the company over this J-Term.
